Description
What kind of wine it is
J. Hofstatter Lagrein is a still red wine that faithfully expresses the character of the grape variety. In the glass, it reveals a dense, almost black ruby colour. The aromatic bouquet stands out for its intense spicy notes, wild berries, violet and fresh hints of cherry. On the palate, it is warm and harmonious, supported by velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity that gives freshness. The sip finishes with a persistent finale, ideal for accompanying structured dishes such as game, speck and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Alto Adige, a mountainous area particularly suited to viticulture. The Lagrein grapes grow near Termeno, on soils characterised by a composition of clay, gravel and sand. This particular nature of the soil allows the vine to develop a clear and clean aromatic expression. The interaction between vine and soil gives the wine a marked varietal typicity, faithfully reflecting the rigorous pedoclimatic conditions of the region.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a careful selection of the grapes and destemming. The must undergoes a temperature-controlled fermentation lasting about ten days, remaining in constant contact with the skins. This continuous maceration is essential for the optimal extraction of colour and aromatic components. Towards the end of the fermentation activity, a programmed increase in temperature maximises the richness of flavours, giving the wine its typical breadth and remarkable structural roundness.
History and Curiosities
